Dear Crestwood Families,
Next week, March 3rd–7th, we are excited to celebrate the joy and importance of reading! Throughout the week, we will have a reading-themed Spirit Week and daily DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) times, encouraging our students to dive into books and develop a lifelong love of reading.
Reading is a fundamental skill that supports growth in all areas of learning. For elementary-age students, strong reading habits build confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills that set the foundation for future success.
We look forward to a fun-filled week celebrating literacy together!
Happy Reading!
Principal Sidorchuk
All schools and the administration campus are open today, Friday, February 14. Schools are starting and ending at their normal times with the exception of elementary schools that will release three hours early due to elementary conferences.
We urge everyone to dress warmly and exercise caution on the roads, in parking lots, and along walking routes and sidewalks.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for our area until 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, Friday, February 14. This weather system is expected to bring snow and freezing temperatures overnight and into the morning hours. Due to a scheduled three-hour early release for all elementary schools as part of elementary conferences, a two-hour delayed/late start cannot be implemented due to conflicts within our transportation system, which operates multiple routes for both elementary and secondary schools.
We encourage you to stay informed by checking local weather reports and monitoring your email or other preferred communication channels early tomorrow morning, Friday, February 14. In the event of any changes to school schedules or district operations, we will make a decision by 5:00 a.m. on Friday, February 14.
Dragonflies In Training sessions begin February 26 for incoming Crestwood 2025-2026 kindergarteners. Please see the attached flyer.
